Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat exchanger capable of being thinned without impairing its heat exchanging performance. <P>SOLUTION: A flat tube 12 of a windward-side heat exchanging part 10A and a flat tube 15 of a leeward-side heat exchanging part 10B are arranged in an offset state so that they are not overlapped to each other when observed from the airflow direction. Whereby the windward-side heat exchanging part 10A and the leeward-side heat exchanging part 10B can be arranged in a state of being adjacent to each other or interfered with each other along the airflow direction. The heat exchanger 10 can be thinned while keeping widths (length along the airflow direction) L1, L2 of the flat tubes 11, 15, that is, keeping a cross-sectional area of a passage of the flat tubes 12, 15, and while keeping the heat exchanging performance. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&amp;NCIPI

Description

本発明は、風上側熱交換部と風下側熱交換部とを備える熱交換器に関する。   The present invention relates to a heat exchanger including an upwind heat exchange unit and a downwind heat exchange unit.

従来より、熱交換器には風上側熱交換部と風下側熱交換部とを備える熱交換器がある(例えば特許文献1)。各熱交換部は、一対のヘッダタンクの間に、伝熱管としての扁平チューブを複数多段に積層配置して連通接続して構成されている。なお、各扁平チューブ間には波形状のアウターフィンが介在している。
特開2002−213840号公報
Conventionally, a heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger including an upwind heat exchange unit and a leeward heat exchange unit (for example, Patent Document 1). Each heat exchange part is configured by arranging and connecting a plurality of flat tubes as heat transfer tubes in a multistage manner between a pair of header tanks. A wave-shaped outer fin is interposed between the flat tubes.
JP 2002-213840 A

近年、このような熱交換器も小型軽量化が求めれている。しかしながら、単純に熱交換器の薄型化を図って小型化しようとすると、各扁平チューブの幅(通風方向に沿った長さ)が小さくなり通路断面積が小さくなるので、通路抵抗が大きくなり、熱交換性能が性能が落ちてしまう。   In recent years, such heat exchangers are also required to be small and light. However, simply trying to make the heat exchanger thinner and smaller, the width of each flat tube (length along the ventilation direction) becomes smaller and the passage cross-sectional area becomes smaller, so the passage resistance increases. The heat exchange performance is degraded.

本発明は、このような従来技術をもとに為されたものである、熱交換性能を極力低下させずに薄型化できる熱交換器の提供を目的とする。   An object of the present invention is to provide a heat exchanger that has been made based on such a conventional technique and can be reduced in thickness without reducing the heat exchange performance as much as possible.

請求項1記載の発明は、波形状のアウターフィンと交互に設けられ内部に冷媒を流通させる扁平チューブと、前記複数多段の扁平チューブの両端開口部が挿入されて該チューブと連通接続される一対のヘッダタンクと、を有する熱交換部を備え、
前記熱交換部を風上側と風下側とに配置してなる熱交換器において、
前記風上側熱交換部の扁平チューブの風下端と、前記風下側熱交換部の扁平チューブの風上端と、が通風方向からみて重なり合わないようにオフセット配置したことを特徴とするものである。
According to the first aspect of the present invention, a pair of flat tubes provided alternately with wave-shaped outer fins for allowing a coolant to flow therein and a plurality of multi-stage flat tubes having both end openings inserted therein are connected to the tubes. A header tank, and a heat exchange section having
In the heat exchanger in which the heat exchange part is arranged on the leeward side and the leeward side,
The windward lower end of the flat tube of the windward side heat exchanging part and the windward upper end of the flat tube of the leeward side heat exchanging part are offset so as not to overlap each other when viewed from the ventilation direction.

請求項1記載の発明によれば、風上側熱交換部の扁平チューブの風下端と、前記風下側熱交換部の扁平チューブの風上端と、が通風方向からみて重なり合わないようにオフセット配置されているため、通風方向に沿って風上側熱交換部と風下側熱交換部とを近接配置または干渉配置することができる。つまり、各扁平チューブの幅(通風方向に沿った長さ)を維持して熱交換性能を維持したまま、熱交換器を薄型化できる。   According to the first aspect of the invention, the windward lower end of the flat tube of the leeward heat exchange part and the windy upper end of the flat tube of the leeward heat exchange part are offset so as not to overlap each other when viewed from the ventilation direction. Therefore, the windward side heat exchange part and the leeward side heat exchange part can be arranged close to each other or interfere with each other along the ventilation direction. That is, the heat exchanger can be thinned while maintaining the width (length along the ventilation direction) of each flat tube and maintaining the heat exchange performance.

以下、本発明の一実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1は本発明の好適な一実施形態の熱交換器としてのエバポレータを示す斜視図、図2は図1中II−II断面図、図3は扁平チューブのタンクとの連通状態を示す断面図、図4はタンクの分解図である。   1 is a perspective view showing an evaporator as a heat exchanger according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a communication state between a flat tube and a tank. FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the tank.

この実施形態の熱交換器としてのエバポレータ10は、車両用空調装置に用いられるもので、空調ユニットケース内で送風機の下流且つヒータコアの上流の配置され、後述する伝熱管としての扁平チューブ12、15内部を流通する冷媒と外部を流通する空気との熱交換により、送風機からの送風空気を除湿しつつ冷却するものである。   The evaporator 10 as a heat exchanger of this embodiment is used for a vehicle air conditioner, and is disposed downstream of a blower and upstream of a heater core in an air conditioning unit case, and flat tubes 12 and 15 as heat transfer tubes described later. It cools while dehumidifying the air blown from the blower by heat exchange between the refrigerant circulating inside and the air circulating outside.

この実施形態のエバポレータ10は、図1に示すように、通風方向に二段に熱交換部10A、10Bを備える二層式のエバポレータ10であり、通風方向に沿って上流側から風上側熱交換部10Aと風下側熱交換部10Bとが配置されている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the evaporator 10 according to this embodiment is a two-layer evaporator 10 including heat exchange units 10 </ b> A and 10 </ b> B in two stages in the ventilation direction. 10A and the leeward side heat exchange part 10B are arrange | positioned.

風上側熱交換部10Aは、波形状のアウターフィン11と交互に設けられ内部に冷媒を流通させるチューブ12と、このチューブ12は別体で形成され、チューブ12の両端開口部が挿入されて該チューブ12と連通接続される一対のヘッダタンク13、13と、を備える。   The windward side heat exchanging part 10A is provided alternately with the wave-shaped outer fins 11 and the tubes 12 through which the refrigerant flows, and the tubes 12 are formed separately, and both end openings of the tubes 12 are inserted and the tubes 12 are inserted. A pair of header tanks 13, 13 connected in communication with the tube 12.

一方、風下側熱交換部10Bは風上側熱交換部10Aと同様に、波形状のアウターフィン14と交互に設けられ内部に冷媒を流通させるチューブ15と、このチューブ15の両端開口部が挿入されて該チューブ15と連通接続される一対のヘッダタンク16、16と、を備える。なお、図1中符号18、18はチューブの積層方向最外側で両熱交換部に亘って架設されるサイドプレート(補強部材)であり、図1、4中符号22は冷媒入口23および冷媒出口24を備えるコネクタであり、図4中符号21はタンク本体20の開口端を閉塞する閉塞部材であり、図2中符号19は扁平チューブ内に設けられるインナーフィンである。   On the other hand, the leeward side heat exchanging part 10B is provided with the tubes 15 alternately provided with the wave-shaped outer fins 14 for circulating the refrigerant and the openings at both ends of the tube 15 in the same manner as the upwind side heat exchanging part 10A. And a pair of header tanks 16, 16 connected to the tube 15. Reference numerals 18 and 18 in FIG. 1 are side plates (reinforcing members) installed on the outermost side in the stacking direction of the tubes and extending over both heat exchange portions. Reference numerals 22 in FIGS. 4, reference numeral 21 in FIG. 4 is a closing member for closing the open end of the tank body 20, and reference numeral 19 in FIG. 2 is an inner fin provided in the flat tube.

この実施形態では、図4に示すようにタンク本体20に形成されるチューブ差込口25は、風上側熱交換器10Aと風下側熱交換器10Bとでは高さが重なり合わないように設定されている。つまり、図2、図3に示すように風上側熱交換部10Aの扁平チューブ12と、風下側熱交換部10Bの扁平チューブ15と、が通風方向からみて重なり合わないようにオフセット配置されている。そして、風上側熱交換部10Aの扁平チューブ12と、風下側熱交換部10Bの扁平チューブ15と、を通風方向に沿って近接配置または干渉配置している。結果、扁平チューブ12の幅(通風方向長さ)L1および扁平チューブ12の幅(通風方向長さ)L2を狭めることなく熱交換器10の幅Lを小さくして薄型化できる。   In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the tube insertion port 25 formed in the tank body 20 is set so that the height does not overlap between the windward side heat exchanger 10A and the leeward side heat exchanger 10B. ing. That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the flat tube 12 of the leeward heat exchange unit 10 </ b> A and the flat tube 15 of the leeward heat exchange unit 10 </ b> B are offset so as not to overlap each other when viewed from the ventilation direction. . And the flat tube 12 of 10 A of windward side heat exchange parts and the flat tube 15 of the leeward side heat exchange part 10B are arrange | positioned adjacently or interfered along the ventilation direction. As a result, the width L of the heat exchanger 10 can be reduced and thinned without reducing the width (length in the ventilation direction) L1 of the flat tube 12 and the width (length in the ventilation direction) L2 of the flat tube 12.

特にこの実施形態の熱交換器10では、厚みLがL<L1+L2となっており、厚さL’がL’=L1+L2+dとなる従来の熱交換器100(図5参照)に比べて、大幅に熱交換器10が薄型化されている。   In particular, in the heat exchanger 10 of this embodiment, the thickness L is L <L1 + L2, and is significantly larger than that of the conventional heat exchanger 100 (see FIG. 5) in which the thickness L ′ is L ′ = L1 + L2 + d. The heat exchanger 10 is thinned.

以上のようにこの実施形態のエバポレータ10によれば、風上側熱交換部10Aの扁平チューブ12と、風下側熱交換部10Bの扁平チューブ15と、が通風方向からみて重なり合わないようにオフセット配置されていることを特徴とするため、通風方向に沿って風上側熱交換部10Aと風下側熱交換部10Bとを近接配置または干渉配置することができる。これにより、各扁平チューブ12、15の幅(通風方向に沿った長さ)L1、L2を維持したままつまり扁平チューブ12、15の通路断面積を維持したままで熱交換性能を維持しつつ、熱交換器10を薄型化できる。なお、通風抵抗は若干上昇する。   As described above, according to the evaporator 10 of this embodiment, the flat tube 12 of the leeward heat exchange unit 10A and the flat tube 15 of the leeward heat exchange unit 10B are offset so as not to overlap each other when viewed from the ventilation direction. Therefore, the windward side heat exchanging part 10A and the leeward side heat exchanging part 10B can be arranged close to each other or interfere with each other along the ventilation direction. Thus, while maintaining the width (length along the ventilation direction) L1, L2 of each flat tube 12, 15 while maintaining the heat exchange performance while maintaining the passage cross-sectional area of the flat tube 12, 15, The heat exchanger 10 can be thinned. Ventilation resistance increases slightly.

ここで、上述の実施形態では、風上側熱交換部10Aの扁平チューブ12と風下側熱交換部10Bの扁平チューブ15と、が通風方向からみて重なり合わないようにオフセット配置されているが、本発明にあっては、少なくとも風上側熱交換部10Aの扁平チューブ12の風下端と風下側熱交換部10Bの扁平チューブ15の風上端とが通風方向からみて重なり合わないようにオフセット配置されていればよい。   Here, in the above-described embodiment, the flat tube 12 of the leeward side heat exchange unit 10A and the flat tube 15 of the leeward side heat exchange unit 10B are offset so as not to overlap each other as viewed from the ventilation direction. In the invention, at least the leeward end of the flat tube 12 of the windward side heat exchanging part 10A and the leeward end of the flat tube 15 of the leeward side heat exchanging part 10B are offset so as not to overlap each other when viewed from the ventilation direction. That's fine.
